For high school students

Service Learning Hours

Need service learning hours to graduate? Come earn them with us. High school students help at free book pop-ups, sort and pack donated books, and support our youth reading programs. Real work, real hours, and a team that is genuinely glad you showed up.

Fill this out with a parent or guardian and we will reach out to get you scheduled.

Hours That Count

We track your hours and sign off whatever paperwork your school coordinator needs. Bring the form, we will handle it.

Work You Will Like

Help kids pick out books at pop-ups, organize the shelves, set up events, or help run a youth reading session.

Looks Good Later

Service hours now, a reference letter later. Consistent students get one when it is time for college or a first job.

Student signup

Sign me up.

A parent or guardian needs to complete the permission section with you. Everything you share stays inside the Foundation and is never posted publicly or sold.

Why it matters

Lift as you climb.

Every hour you give helps another young reader open that same door, the one that opens the whole world. Be literate. Be educated. Be dope.
